I wonder what Israels objective is with all this, because it's can't possibly be peace. A safe and peaceful Israel would be a wonderful thing IMO so it pains me to see what they're doing ATM. In the occupied territories for example, they militarily occupy land in the west bank to act as a buffer between themselves and the Palestinians after the war, which is fair enough, but then they build settlements there which rather defeats the object and makes the Palestinians as well as the international community see it as a land grab.
I genuinely want to see things to go well for the Israelis but I fear they are on a path to destruction.
Objective? Stopping terrorist missles. Let me know how you make peace with terrorists who don't want to make peace. Either you're unimformed or misinformed. Either way, if someone were sending missiles into your backyard, I would think that you'd expect your government to stop them.
